Winter Walleye Fishing on the St. Clair River 2024

Ice fishing for winter walleye is what we're typically doing at this time of year, but with warm temperatures and a lack of ice, we decided to go jigging for walleye on the St. Clair River with Captain Dave Boon. The 2024 fishing season got a good start and now that it's getting colder, ice fishing is just around the corner. This was such a fun trip out in the boat though, and I hope to do again some day!

Year round open water fishing in Michigan now I love it! Used to ice fish but we only get a week or two of safe ice now

[@AverieRose]

We only have a week or two of safe ice here on Erie as well. I love open water but it sucks that we don't really get an ice fishing season .

[@creditangler8025]

Got to love a good day of walleye fishing open water or through the ice.👍

[@AverieRose]

yeah I've only ever gone ice fishing for them at this time of year... so it was a cool experience!

[@CrayOutoors]

Nice! Can't go wrong with winter walleyes! Dave seams to really know that water well!

Dave is awesome. We didn't even have to change spots... and he showed me a few new tricks too!

Lovely! You make angling look easy, which it is not. Happy 2024! How did you prepare those fish for eating?

[@AverieRose]

Yep we sure did!

[@ajstevens1037]

Man. Lot's of hate. Great video and nice job 😁😁

[@derekpiehl85]

I assume you are fishing the Canadian side of the St Clair River.

[@AverieRose]

Yeah Canadian side only on this trip. No slot size which is nice.

[@SALMONSLAYER06]

why everyone wants to blow up there own fishery in there backyard is beyond me.

[@AverieRose]

i barely keep walleye and there are millions in the great lakes system 😭

[@kevinlivingston485]

Anybody that knows the river absolutely fishes that spot and directly across on US side. It’s not a secret to the seasoned fisherman that those spots heat up very early in the season. Good job girl, you had the hot stick that’s for sure!

[@ajstevens1037]

[@LovingShyzi]

biggest fish was caught outside of mouth! was suppose to throw it back but o well

[@ryanbonin8956]

They were all legitimately caught fish. Hooks fly around in the net, on the floor of the boat and when fish are being faught. Especially with stinger hooks.

[@LovingShyzi]

@@ryanbonin8956 not a huge deal my friend hope you guys have a great fishing year & get lucky! keep the vids comin

[@elizabethtrefil6957]

How can you be using live minnows on the Canadian side

[@AverieRose]

You can use live bait if they are caught from the same fish and wildlife management zone. We bought them from a place that catches them locally.

[@elizabethtrefil6957]

@@AverieRose ok thanks

[@jimmapletoft572]

So you know, fish that arent hooked in the mouth are considered snagged and keeping snagged fish isnt legal 😂 i think you threw a couple in the box that were foul hooked. If your videoing your fishing for the world to see, might wanna know the rules.

[@AverieRose]

All of our fish were caught legally. Sometimes when using stinger hooks you only get the stinger in the mouth and the jig flops and also hooks the fish on the outside. Other times the jig falls out of their mouth while you're trying to net the fish, and you end up with the stinger on the outside... and then there are times it just flops around on the floor of the boat while you're trying to remove the fish from the net and the hook can end up anywhere. Nobody was snagging fish in this video and we are well aware of fishing regulations.
